The issue goes before the City Council’s Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations Committee on March 24 for an initial discussion. A ballot measure in November would have to be approved by a majority of the City Council to reach voters. The council now has a 5-3 Democratic majority with the likelihood of a sixth Democrat appointed to the vacancy created with the election of Kevin Faulconer as mayor.

Raise Up San Diego says it backs a ballot measure that includes:

Access to earned sick leave for all employees in San Diego, regardless of industry or business type.

A meaningful increase in the city’s minimum wage.

And a cost-of-living index to update the minimum wage annually.

Should this effort to expand the state’s plans for a higher minimum wage be extended to other cities in San Diego County?
